Mail Call

Heather Steinberger’s well-done article on Great Lakes

shipwrecks in the March 2018 issue of Lakeland Boating (p. 48)

is long overdue and very much appreciated. Shipwreck diving is

a serious tourist attraction for boating divers.

As a retired dive equipment sales rep and longtime Great Lakes

shipwreck diver, it was nice to revisit the few wrecks in her article that I have

had the pleasure to dive. I realize that there are space limitations in such an

article but I would like to note a few other wrecks in Lakes Superior and

Michigan that are popular dive sites and not too deep for advanced divers.

Lake Superior out of Munising, MI

• Manhattan: In 15 to 30 feet of water along the east side of Grand Island.


• Selvick: A tug boat intentionally sunk on the east side of Grand
  Island in 45 to 65 feet of water.


• Kiowa: Several miles east of Munising on the south shore. A steel
  steamer in 30 to 45 feet of water.
  Lake Superior, Isle Royale, MI


• Cumberland: Near Rock of Ages Light in 85 to 110 feet of water.


• Emperor: Off the northeast end of the island. A 525-foot ore
  carrier in 45 to 160 feet of water.


• Chester A. Congdon: West of the Emperor about a mile. A 450-foot
  ore carrier in 45 to 170 feet of water.
  Lake Michigan, Milwaukee, WI area


• Prinz Willem: Straight out of Milwaukee harbor entrance. A steel
  freighter in 45 to 80 feet of water.


• SS Milwaukee: North of Milwaukee about 10 miles. A 320-foot
  RR car ferry in 70 to 125 feet of water.


• SS Wisconsin: Southeast of Kenosha about seven miles. A passenger/
  freight ship in about 85 to 115 feet of water.
  All of these wrecks are serviced by licensed charter boats and are
  non-technical dives, unless one desires to do serious penetration diving.
  Additional Great Lakes shipwreck history and background can be found
  on Great Lakes historian and diver Fredrick Stonehouse’s website.

CORRECTIONS

In our March 2018 issue,

we incorrectly published

that Fathom Five National

Marine Park is off the

coast of Michigan (p 50.)

The park is located just

off the Bruce Peninsula in

Tobermory, Ontario. We

regret the error.

In our April 2018

issue, we published the

incorrect aerial photo of

the Ludington Municipal

Marina (p. 58). Above is

the correct photo of the

marina. We are sorry for

any confusion.
